Chapter 9: Educated Youth on the Train



"Yes, little sister, it's because of that bastard Yang Wenbing who is fickle. It makes sense for us to cancel the engagement." Xu Ruyi took over.

Xu Hai didn't say anything, his concerned eyes stayed on Xu Zhiyi.

Xu Zhiyi felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw the Xu family's care and unconditional protection for her.

Xu Zhiyi said softly, "Mom, Dad, Big Sister, Little Brother, don't worry. I'm getting better. At worst, I can learn to do housework and cook. I'll take good care of myself. What if I regret it one day and go find Yang Wenbing again?"

"As long as I go to the countryside and am far away from you, I won't be impulsive anymore." Xu Zhiyi vowed.

Xu Zhiyi felt that if it were based on her original personality, she would definitely turn back if Yang Wenbing just said a few nice words to her.

When the Xu family heard Xu Zhiyi say this, they began to worry that Xu Zhiyi would really come back again.

Xu Hai looked at Xu Zhiyi's serious expression and knew that she was not just saying it casually because of the whim, but really wanted to go to the countryside. "Okay, I'll go sign up for Nannan tomorrow and let her go.

If that doesn't work out, we can send her some money every month so she can live better in the countryside."

Xu Zhiyi smiled and said to Xu Hai, "Thank you, Dad! Actually, I've already signed up today."

When Jiang Mei heard this, she slapped Xu Zhiyi on the arm. She looked very confident, but she didn't actually use much strength.

"You little idiot, you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to make decisions on your own without telling your family. Now that you have grown wings, you want to fly away, right?" Jiang Mei's anger was aroused by Xu Zhiyi again.

"Mom, I was wrong. Don't be angry. It was just a matter of time." Xu Zhiyi bowed his head and admitted his mistake, promising not to change it next time.

Xu Hai still persuaded Jiang Mei: "Okay, if she wants to go, let her go."

It was a settled thing and no one else said anything, but Xu Sheng still felt a little awkward.

Xu Zhiyi didn't expect that Xu's parents would agree so easily. She thought it would take some effort to persuade them.

He also wanted to tell others about Zhou Li's registration on his behalf, so as to divert some attention and stop them from worrying about her going to the countryside.

Although it was of no use, she would give Zhou Li a big gift to thank her for her assist.

She wrote two letters and sent them out, one to report the crime and one to the Wang family.

Since Zhou Li is so busy, let her son's plan fail and go to the countryside.

Xu's parents really do grant their second daughter's every wish.

After dinner, Jiang Mei started to get busy preparing things for Xu Zhiyi to go to the countryside, and Xu Ruyi helped her mother clean up the kitchen.

Xu Hai went outside to smoke.

Xu Sheng hadn't recovered from his awkwardness yet, and he walked to Xu Zhiyi, twisting his body and asking, "Second sister, are you going to the countryside because of me?"

The caution in his eyes was not hidden.

Xu Zhiyi looked at Xu Sheng, who was awkward and a little cautious, and said proudly, "You little brat, why are you going to the countryside? You don't even take me seriously! When I go to the countryside and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, I will write to you to envious you."

Xu Sheng instinctively wanted to retort, "You are the only one who enjoys eating delicious food. You are lucky to have food to eat. Don't let others bully you and make you cry..."

Seeing Xu Zhiyi's increasingly uneasy look, his voice grew weaker and weaker, probably only he could hear it.

"Don't think about it, little brat. Just read more books at home and avoid going out. I'll write to you later to show you how well your sister is doing."

Xu Zhiyi knew that this boy was used to making trouble with her, and she was not used to them talking calmly.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Xu Zhiyi started to tell him to go back to bed. She said, "Go to bed early, or you won't grow taller."

Jiang Mei packed up the food at home. She wanted to prepare something more delicate for Xu Zhiyi, so she had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it.

Although I am still worried, I also know that there is nothing I can do. My daughter is grown up now, and I have to focus on myself and cannot put people in front of me.

I can only prepare as many supplies as possible to comfort my mother.

When the Xu family was preparing for Xu Zhiyi to go to the countryside, the atmosphere at home seemed not very relaxed.

Jiang Mei was worried that her second daughter would have a hard time living in the countryside, and she cried secretly several times at night.

......

On the train to Rong County, Xu Hai, carrying a package, protected Xu Zhiyi and squeezed onto the train, struggling to squeeze into his seat.

Xu Zhiyi opened the train window and said goodbye to Xu's parents. Xu Sheng, who was standing beside them, also had a look of reluctance in his eyes.

Jiang Mei couldn't help herself and her eyes turned red. "Nannan, you have to take good care of yourself. Mom will send you a package every two or three months, so you have to remember to receive it."

As he spoke, tears began to flow.

Xu Hai, who usually doesn't like to talk, couldn't help but say a few more words at this time, "Nannan, if you have anything, write to me. Mom and Dad are here."

Xu Zhiyi's eyes felt a little hot, and he nodded, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will write to you, don't worry about me."

Then he said to Xu Sheng, "Little brother, wait for my good news at home."

"Woooooooo..." The sound of the train starting was heard.

Xu Zhiyi waved his hand and said, "Mom, Dad, and little brother, go back. I'll write to you when I get to the village."

The train started to move slowly. Xu Sheng couldn't help but run after it, "Second sister, take care of yourself!"

The train was speeding up and finally moving away from the platform.

Xu Zhiyi heard Xu Sheng's voice and also saw Xu Sheng wiping away his tears.

She felt warm in her heart, and at this moment, she felt a sense of security in this strange era.

It takes two days and one night to get to Rong County by train.

Two days before departure, Jiang Mei prepared a large package for Xu Zhiyi. There were too many things in it. She was worried that Xu Zhiyi would have difficulty carrying the luggage in the car, so she sent it directly to Rong County.

Wait until Xu Zhiyi settles down in the village before going to pick up the package.

The train was crowded and noisy. Xu Zhiyi looked around and saw that most of them were young people like her, their faces filled with passion and energy for going to the countryside to build the rural areas.

Xu Zhiyi dozed off by the window, while the people sitting next to him had already started chatting.

"Hello, comrade. Are you also an educated youth who went to the countryside?" The woman who spoke next to him looked carefree.

The round-faced, big-eyed girl sitting opposite with two long braids said with a slight smile, "Yes, I'm an educated youth who went to Rong County."

"Oh, great, me too! My name is Yangmei, and I'm from Mao City."

The round-faced girl was not shy. "I'm Gan Tiantian, and this is my neighbor brother Fang Kai. We're both from Shanghai. If you have anything, you can talk to me and Brother Fang Kai."

The young man sitting next to her looked at the girl next to him and called out helplessly, "Tiantian."

Who would be so careless and offer to help someone just after meeting them?

Gan Tiantian gave Fang Kai a sweet smile, begging for mercy, and shook Fang Kai's clothes with her hand.

Fang Kai was at his wit's end. What could he do? He was so easy to fool. Luckily, I was there.

Two young girls were chatting animatedly here. There was a man reading a book sitting next to them, and there was a girl looking out the window, her profile looking a little aloof.

Xu Zhiyi heard their conversation, but did not join them just because they were going to the same place.

We are in the same place anyway, so we will naturally get to know each other when the time comes.
